Fick-Bechtel Personennamen 162ff., Bechtel Hist. Personennamen 238ff.; on Thess. etc. - κλέας for - κλέης Kretschmer Glotta 26, 37.

Derivatives: Adjective κλεινός, Aeol. κλέεννος (\< *κλεϜεσ-νός) `famous' (Sol., Pi.) with Κλεινίας a. o. - Enlargement after the nouns in -( η)δών (cf. Schwyzer 529f., Chantraine Formation 361): κλεηδών, - όνος f. (Od.), κληηδών (δ 312; metr. lengthening), κληδών (Hdt., trag.; contraction resp. adaptation to κλῄζω, κικλήσκω; s. below) `fame, (divine) pronouncement'; from it κληδόνιος (sch., Eust.), κληδονίζομαι, - ίζω (LXX) with - ισμα, - ισμός. - Denomin. verb: 1. κλείω (Il.), κλέω (B., trag. in lyr.) `celebrate, praise, proclaim', hell. also `call' (after κλῄζω, s. below), κλέομαι `enjoy fame, be celebrated' (Ω 202), hell. also `be called'; basis *κλεϜεσ-ι̯ω \> *κλε(Ϝ)έω, from where κλείω, κλέω; s. Wackernagel BphW 1891 Sp. 9; see Frisk GHÅ 56: 3 (1950) 3ff., where the possibility is discussed that κλέω (from where κλείω with metr. lengthening) is a backformation of κλέος after ψεύδω: ψεῦδος (thus Risch par. 31 a).

Schulze Q. 281: κλείω denomin. from *κλεϜεσ-ι̯ω, but κλέω, κλέομαι old primary formation; diff. again Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 346 w. n. 3: κλέω primary, from where with metrical lengthening κλείω; further s.

Schulze Q. 282ff., s. Bq s. κλείω and Schwyzer 735 n. 7; cf. also Fraenkel Glotta 4, 36ff.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [606] *ḱleuos `fame'

Etymology: Old verbal noun of a word for `hear', found in several languages: Skt. śrávas- n. `fame' ( κλέος ἄφθιτον: ákṣiti śrávaḥ), Av. sravah- n. `word', OCS slovo n. `word', also OIr. clū and Toch. A klyw, B kälywe `fame', and also Illyr. PN Ves-cleves (= Skt. vásu-śravas- `having good fame'; cf. Εὑ-κλῆς). The denomin. κλε(ί)ω \< *κλεϜεσ-ι̯ω also agrees to Skt. śravasyáti `praise', which therefore can be pre-Greek. Further s. κλύω. - On κλέος s. Steinkopf and Greindl s. εὔχομαι, and Greindl RhM 89, 217ff.
